Fracture at the margins of amalgam as predicted by creep, zinc content, and gamma-2 content

E. N. Gale, J. W. Osborne and P. G. Winchell

Fracture at the margins of amalgams as predicted by an equation suggested by Mahler using creep, zinc content, and gamma-2 content was tested on the three-year clinical results of 12 alloys. The results tend to agree with Mahler's results when gamma-2 and non-gamma-2 alloys are used in the same equation. This appears, however, to be an effect of combining two distinctly different types of alloys. It is suggested that, when non-gamma-2, low creep alloys are evaluated, the equation suggested by Mahler would be inappropriate. In addition, for non-gamma-2 alloys, the prediction using creep values does not appear to be appropriate.
